Washington
(ANI):
Teary
eyed
La
Toya
Jackson
recalled
her
mother"s
horror
when
she
learnt
about
the
sudden
death
of
her
son
Michael.
La
Toya
confessed
she
nearly
crashed
her
car
as
she
heard
her
shocked
mother
Katherine
shout
on
the
phone
that
the
singer
had
passed
away.
"I
was
driving
over
to
the
hospital
and
I
was
speaking
to
my
mother's
assistant,
and
I
kept
asking
how
he
was
doing,
and
he
(the
assistant)
just
wouldn't
answer
me," Contactmusic
quoted
her
as
telling
Britain's
GMTV.
“And
I
heard
my
mother
in
the
background
say,
'Who
is
that?' And
she
grabbed
the
phone
and
screamed
down
the
phone,
screamed
at
the
top
of
her
lungs,
He's
dead,
he's
dead.
And
I
heard
it
and
I
almost
crashed
the
car
so
many
times
as
I
tried
to
get
over
there,
even
though
I
was
only
three
minutes
away,"
she
added.
The
King
of
Pop
died
aged
50
on
June
25
after
suffering
a
cardiac
arrest
at
his
rented
Los
Angeles
mansion.
